Big things are happening at Bristol Water. A £260 million capital investment programme. A major development that is driving leading-edge engineering projects right across our infrastructure. It’s set to cement our reputation as experts in our field – and now we need the ambitious and talented professionals who’ll make that happen.

For you, it offers challenge and opportunity in equal scope. Yes, we’re one of the UK’s leading companies with a focus on supplying water. But we also have the mentality and agility of an enterprising small business. So you’ll get the freedom to grow your role and achieve outstanding results. And since this is such as significant programme, those achievements will put you centre stage.

Forming a brand new technical project delivery team, you’ll lead and engineer a programme of electrical and multidisciplinary capital projects valued from £2m to £10m pa. A key element of your role will be to manage framework consultants, contractors and suppliers. You will also bring your electrical engineering expertise to design and safety matters, and your role will include that of Senior Electrical Engineer for the company under the Electrical Safety Rules covering HV operations and switching.

Depending on your level of experience, there could be the opportunity to manage a small multidisciplinary team of engineers, develop new solutions and be the company’s electrical engineering lead on design and safety.

The ability to work collaboratively across groups and teams is essential, along with a strong track record of project delivery in the water industry or a similar 24-hour process related business. Ideally a Chartered Engineer, you must also bring first-rate communication and technical engineering skills, plus a good knowledge of the IET Regulations and the Electricity at Work Act. You will also need a project management qualification such as AMPP or Prince 2 Practitioner or equivalent. If you are part way to achieving recognition as a project manager we will consider completing your development.

In return, you can look forward to outstanding opportunities to develop your skills and career with us. We are also making arrangements to support people who are relocating to the area.
